Hooked.

Last night, my phone did NOT have SERVICE. I think a tower must have been down, because it was going in and out of having service,

to searching,

to none. NADA.

Let me restate that this is going to sound terrible.

However, I swear my little heart was aching as each moment passed and I looked down to see my lifeline unavailable. Withdrawals? Yes. Frustrating? Double yes.

I use my phone for everything. Doesn't mostly everyone? I have become so dependent on this hand held device, that I probably couldn't go more than a couple of days without it. Who am I kidding? One day is plenty long enough.

One time my crackberry froze up on me for a day. CRAZY. I panicked to get to a store, panicked to get a new phone, and panicked to see who had called or texted me.

Last night was looking the same way. I had service for not even a minute, then it vanished. I just hoped they would have it fixed soon.

But why? Because our world has become so hooked on technology and Internet and SIMPLE, that we barely know anything else.

Now this is where I would say something encouraging about how maybe I should step back from the computerized world, and see this as a much needed cleansing break. Say how I think everything has become so complicated, and how I wish I could do away some of the stressors in my life. I would even come close to saying that I spend way too much time on that phone anyways, so maybe I should try to go without it more often.

This is also where I WILL NOT SAY THESE THINGS BECAUSE I WANT MY SERVICE TO WORK!

hahah loved this because I have totally been there. My friend had my entire purse for two days (thank goodness for spare keys), phone included. I was sure to imform all my Facebook friends every couple hours that I DID NOT have my phone.

Makes you feel popular when you finally get it back though after two days lol
